In my earlier travels, I left a guitar in storage down in Hautulco Mexico over a year ago. I just got back down to there a day ago and immediately accessed my guitar. The hard shell case weathered well, however the surprise was on the inside. Due to heat/humidity/whatever the plush lining had melted into the finish. I had to use a knife to cut the guitar free, resulting in a plush body guitar. It really looked ugly. After a lot of experimenting I used SOS pad to remove the plush then wet sanded the body with 1200 grit paper. I then wiped the guitar down with almond oil. Amazingly the neck was still straight and the single ply top was free of warps. The blonde finish has taken on a brown tone though. The sound is still pretty darn good. Now for my problem. I still won’t be going directly home from here so i will have to leave it again. Any suggestions as to my best options for storage. In the case, out of the case, some kind of wax on the body, 3n1 oil on strings, ad nauseum. I leave here this Thursday so any responses by Wednesday would be appreciated. Thanks D
